|
The Second Vatican Council (1962-65), which also met in Rome, showed a different outlook. First, it invited observers from Orthodox and Protestant churches; second, the bishops did vote for a principle of collegiality, which gave higher status to their participation. Collegiality, however, did not effectively limit the supremacy of the pope.

Key Innovations for elimination of heresy and heretics |
|
|
1908 The Inquisition became known simply as the "Holy Office." |
|
|
1917 The Codex Juris Canonici abolished use of torture by the Church. |
|
|
1935 Pope Pius XI and later Pius XII agree to refrain from attacking Nazi attrocities and actions in exchange for secret access to all potentially heretical evidence uncovered by the occult obsessed Hitler. In exchange, the Nazis agree not to use their library of potentially heretical archeological evidence against Rome. |
|
|
As a result over 6 million jews and 20 million catholic die during World War II without ongoing clear denouncement of these actions by the Vatican. |
|
|
1965 Pope Paul VI reorganized Holy Office (formerly the Inquisition) and renamed it Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith. |
|
|
1966 The Index of Forbidden Books was formally abolished.
